Three men in a tub???

Question

Rub a Dub Dub, three men in a tub... Anybody else see something wrong with this classic nursery rhyme? Thoughts?

Answer 1

Why would it be wrong? You have homosexual relationship maybe they were trying to 'spice it up' :)

Or maybe they were beign eco-friendly and saving water and heating!!!

(PS: I'm aware tub meant boat so really there isnt anything wrong with rhyme)

Answer 2

yes all are men!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 3

Maybe they were on a ship and it sunk. The only thing that was available was the tub, and it could hold the weight of 3 grown men. Maybe they were the only ones left.

Answer 4

Tub as in boat, I don't see anything wrong with that

Answer 5

ring around the rosey was about the bubonic plague.

it started out a ring a ring a rosey- infected had rashes

pocket full of posies- flowers masked the smell of rotting flesh

a tissue, a tissue-sneeze, phlegm

we all fall down-don't really need to explain

it started out:

a ring, a ring, a rosey, pocket full of posies, a tissue, a tissue, we all fall down.

it ended up:

ring around the rosey, pocket full of posey, ashes, ashes, we all fall down.

Answer 6

Nah, it's harmless.  Don't be too P.C.  It's really gotten out of hand.  For instance, my dad just got scolded for playing Hang Man with his Sunday School class because it was "too morbid."

Answer 7

what about Ring around the Rosey, a song about the Bubonic Plague. Should pre-schoolers being singing a song about pockets full of puss and falling down dead in the streets?

'ashes ashes we all fall down'
